capstone project
I'd use final project for a term or year, but the German custom of having a cumulative exam at the end would be better conveyed by using the capstone concept; this is at least familiar to Americans (as the 'crowning' event of a course of studies, rather than just a term)

: I do not believe that this is a cumulative examination; rather, it is a significantly weighted project. // What we mean to say, what we actually say, and what is understood are not always the same.
